Game day V's Knights of Ni!!!!

Welcome mean fish, I did the same have been reading on here for 10+ Years before posting

 

[Stake Removed]

There is a interesting rule and no player has yet to challenge it, once his feet come off the ground he is deemed to being held, you can't go any further.
So under pressure near goal line side line get feet off ground, ref calls goal line drop challenge it, it will be upheld with a penalty

 

[Quigs]

Hannay is correct about that bullshit call of held when they carried the player into in goal. He called held as soon as the Sharks players made contact eventhough he was still moving. This was the most bs call I have ever seen in a long time and really questions the integrity of the game

That call was an absolute shocker. Stunk to high heaven. Our blokes were tackling them, and pushing hard..... and as soon our guys looked like driving in... checin starts calling held

I’m new as of this post, I’ve been reading the stuff on here for a couple of years and I’m impressed and intimidated by the quality and passion of discussion conducted In this forum.
I would like to add my 2cents worth,
The team have don’t have specialist centre’s this takes our 2 strongest try scores out of the game, Johnson and Moylan knew how to bring them in through cut out passes and kicks to the corners, our current halves don‘ have that in the play book at this stage of their careers. Without Moylan‘s passing game Kennedy playing off the back is slow and ineffective.
Last season everyone wrote Kennedy off including me, he was a light weight who got pushed back in every tackle, he fumbled more kicks than he caught and his passing game was poor, he has earned his place, Trindall if given the time will come on and be a number 7 the team needs.
The front row that was on show yesterday are not up to scratch but with the 2 stellar players coming into the team next year we have 6 great back rowers but only 1-2 props, this can work if a game plan is created that incorporates their strengths, one plan that has been exploited against the Sharks this year is offloads, the current players don’t do this enough and struggle to defend against it. In Metcalf and Tracey we have speed that can tear teams appart if they hunt in the middle of the field as players like Rudolf and Williams constantly at track 3 defenders and just having the quick players close by will ensure defenders will have be on the ready for second phase play.
The game is ready for a shake up, Cronulla need to move forward and create a new direction for the team, don’t copy what other teams do, forget the smash and bash way Cronulla has played in the past this is not that style of team and the game has changed so much in the past 2 years, we have the makings of a premiership team but the game plan is wrong.

Good first post.

Welcome to the jungle.

Welcome, mate!

Good first post!

As Quigs (and others) would say, “Welcome to the madhouse!!!”

I mean, that would be true if the Bunker showed any sign of consistency.

Let’s not forget fellas we didn’t catch the kick off and they scored in 30 secs. That’s on us.

We also dropped the ball in the play the ball right before our first try.

Sure we got some dud calls but we as usual killed ourselves.

look at the difference in experience in the line ups. Of course we are going to make mistakes with the team we sent out there. I don’t think anyone expected us to win, however if things had been adjudicated differently, we would have won.

Welcome mate…. Agree that Trindall needs some time. WK was the forum whipping boy for the vast majority this time last year…. This year he has the clubs bast and fairest well and truly wrapped up. Tricky is very sound defensively and the first grade game smarts will come with experience. Our 3 experienced halves (Chad/Moyza/SJ) are done and dusted and as a result Tricky has been thrown into the deep end with another guy (CT) that is even less of a half. Steep learning curve for Trindall… be patient imo.

Not once but twice. I love how we learn from mistakes

You don’t need experience to catch the kick off. Twice.

that maybe so but those dud calls where clungers......especially that head high tackle on Nikora how that wasn't a penalty try or a sin bin it was bullshit..

Tolman charged for his leg hit, 1 week. Didn’t look like a cannonball to me. So 2 less props this week we will need to move sifa and Williams back to the middle

Absolutely ridiculous. Looked like he tried to make a tackle and slid off

Welcome mate. Fitzy has his work cut out for him, but agree he has options for next year…which is more than some clubs.
